It may seem miraculous as the body heals itself, pain unbelievably disappears quickly and loose motions stop in a couple of hours, but what we call miraculous healing is nothing more than increasing the rate of self-recovery of the body. There is nothing supernatural or paranormal about Pranic healing. It is simply based on natural laws that most people are not aware of.

Simple, powerful and effective, Pranic healing is a no-touch energy healing based on the fundamental principle that the body is a self-repairing living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. It works on the principle that increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body accelerates the healing process.

Confirms Dr Vinayak Paranjape, "Here, take a moment to reflect and correlate our age old Indian tradition of nazar utarna with a handful of salt and mustard seeds. Further, bathing in the sea on Amavasya days or during the eclipse time is certainly to protect us from the negative energies at the time. The same effect can be had in your bathroom by adding a handful of salt to a bucket of water while taking bath. Sponging during high fever with salt water cools the body temperature and also takes away diseased energy. The therapist uses salt added to a bowl of water to dispose the negative energy. Haw salt is preferred than iodised and purified salt as impurities in the raw salt take up and nullify the dirty energies disposed."

He goes on, "It is an ancient science and art of healing that utilizes prana or life energy and the chakras or energy centres to heal diseased energy levels. The healing process involves the manipulation of the patient's chakras, ki and aura. It is also known as medical qigong (ki Kung or ki healing), psychic healing, vitalic healing, therapeutic touch, laying of the hand, magnetic healing, faith healing, and charismatic healing. The Pranic healer generally stresses more on cleaning of aura and removing the energy blocks."

This process of healing is a highly developed and tested system of energy based healing techniques that utilise prana to balance, harmonise and transform the body's energy processes. Prana is 'a Sanskrit word that means "life-force". It is this invisible vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as chi. Japan ese name it as ki, as in reikt. It is also called ruh or the "breath of life" in the Old Testament.

According to the precepts of Pranic healing, our body is actually composed of two parts: the visible physical body, and the invisible energy body called the bioplasmic body or aura that is air ionised around body. The visible physical body is that part of the human body that we see, touch, and is most acquainted with. Our aura is that invisible luminous energy body, which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extends beyond it. Traditionally, clairvoyants and energy healing practitioners call this energy body the etheric body or etheric double.

Science, with the use of Kirlian photography, has rediscovered the energy body. With the aid of Kirlian photography, scientists have been able to study, observe, and take pictures of small bioplasmic articles like bioplasmic fingers, leaves, etc. It is through the energy body that prana or life energy is absorbed and distributed throughout the whole physical body. It can help parents bring down the temperature of their children suffering from high fever in just a few hours and heal it in a day or two in most cases.

Among the immediate benefits, Pranic healing is said to relieve headaches, gas pains, toothaches, and muscle pains almost immediately in most cases. Coughs and colds can usually be cured in a day or two. Loose bowel movement may be controlled in a few hours in most cases. Major illnesses such as eye, liver, kidney, and heart problems can be relieved in a few sessions and healed in a few months in many cases. It increases the rate of healing by three times or more than the normal rate of healing.

All of these things are possible given that the healer has attained a certain degree of proficiency. Any healthy person with an average intelligence, an average ability to concentrate, an open but discriminating mind and a certain degree of persistence can learn Pranic healing in a relatively short period. Learning Pranic healing is easier than learning to play the piano or painting. It is as easy as learning to drive. Its basic principles and techniques can be learned in a few sessions. Like driving, Pranic healing requires much practice and time to achieve a certain degree of proficiency.
